Everything's Coming Up Eights for Akenhead

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

James Akenhead made it 500 to go, and the button three-bet to 1,150, leaving himself 3,000 behind. Akenhead called, and the flop came out {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. James checked to the shortstack, who moved all in. It was an easy call for Mr. Akenhead, who showed {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a flopped set. His opponent, with {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}, was drawing to running sixes for his tournament life and was dead after the {k-Spades} turn. It was Akenhead who caught quads with the {8-Hearts} on the river.
